wow, i would have NEVER done this 19 months ago!!!!

they were having a luau saturday evening at point mallard (our local water park, home of the very first wave pool, http://www.pointmallardpark.com/waterpark/index.shtml in case anyone's interested in checking it out...) and they had a "best dressed guest" contest that kensie and i participated in. kensie got 2nd place in her age group and i got 3rd place in my age group (woohoo!!!) even though we were wearing nearly the EXACT same thing, lols!! (please forgive me... some of these may be duplicates, lols... sorry...)

so yeah, this is something that i would have NEVER done 19 months ago. i wouldn't have been caught DEAD at point mallard even in a full body suit!! but check this out... here i am posing for pics in front of a crowd of people with my daughter and COMPETING in a SWIMSUIT COMPETITION of sorts!!! loose skin and all

oh and following the "best dressed guest" pics are some pics that katie took of me last night out by our pool in my different bathing suits just because i wanted to see what they looked like, lols. can you believe this?? 19 months out from lap rny, down 150 pounds and NO PLASTICS!!!! (yeah, i NEED plastics lols but i haven't had any and i probably won't be getting any either )

OMG you two are too freakin cute!  You look wonderful...keep rocking that bod girl!

thank you!! you and yer hubby should come with us sometime! we all have season passes and usually try to make a day out of it on sunday's so just lemme know if you're ever interested...

That sounds like fun and the girls would enjoy it too, they are 8 & 10 so i'm sure they would all have fun playing together. I'm not as brave as you though, i tried on about 300 bathing suits found the perfect one and then i wear a huge tshirt over it so i can hide.  LOL

lol!! hey, whatever it takes to get you in the water... and yeah, kensie will be 9 in september so i'm sure they'd all have a blast together! i'll pm you my cell# and you just give me a buzz whenever you think y'all might be interested. it's $11 for kids, $16 for adults. BUT, if you do the season passes it's $75/person; OR for a family of four i believe it's either $250 or $260 which will save you a bundle if you go a lot like we do (since we aren't taking a vacation this year or anything...)

You both are cuties!  Congrats on your weight-loss success!!

Congrats - you look amazing! We've thought about going to Point Mallard and letting the kids ice skate.
